Ignite is Walsh Jesuit's premier summer enrichment program for rising 7th and 8th graders. It’s a three-week experience where students are supported to grow curiosity, build confidence, and begin to find where they belong.
Each week, students choose from a variety of engaging classes led by Walsh Jesuit teachers, coaches, and community experts, and each day is filled with hands-on learning, creative exploration, and new adventures. Students tackle hands-on STEM projects, experiment in science labs, explore the arts, develop leadership skills, train with Walsh Jesuit coaches, and participate in spirited competitions that build teamwork and camaraderie. Along the way, they form lasting friendships, connect with teachers and student ambassadors, and discover what it truly means to be part of Warrior Nation.
By the end of Ignite, campers leave with new knowledge and unforgettable memories. They leave with new, meaningful friendships and a genuine connection to the Warrior community, which makes the transition to high school feel less like a first day and more like coming
home.
